I was at The Taste of the Danforth on the weekend in Toronto and a very strange thing happened. I was chatting with some people and a large crowd started gathering around my back and pointing and taking pictures. I found that strange, and asked "what's that all about" and someone told me a butterfly had landed on my backpack.

I asked if someone could use my   camera to get a picture of it with my camera, since I could not see it.

I didn't know what it looked like until I got home and have since found out it is native to our area and is called a "Question Mark" butterfly.

It landed on my back for about 5-6 minutes and several people got pictures of it.

The festival was attended by well over 1 million over the three days and it was a great event.

The rostiserre quail and the Gyros were a big hit but there was all kinds of great food and entertainment, if you did not go I suggest you make plans to attend next summer.

GyrosThe gyros were a big hit.

The lineup for the roasted quail (it's like a small chicken) was even bigger and it looks so delicious.

There were about 50 people lined up for the quail in 2-3 locations along the 3 km route.

So you were the guy I stuck that thing to.  It got all gooey in my mango slurpee.
